Drive Axle With Inner CV Joint (108 mm Diameter), Servicing

Drive axle with inner constant velocity joint (108 mm diameter), servicing





Grease quantities and types
Constant velocity joints are filled with lubricating grease G 000 603
Re-grease joint if boot is replaced.





1. Cover
^ Knock out carefully with mandrel
^ Always replace
^ Apply D 454 300 A2 to sealing surface before fitting to constant velocity joint, Aligning cover with bolt holes
2. Circlip
^ Use commercially available circlip pliers for extraction and installation
3. Inner constant velocity joint with cap for boot
^ OD: 108 mm
^ Replace only as complete assembly
^ Bonding surfaces must be free of oil and grease
4. Clamp
^ Always replace
^ Tightening - Go to Fig. 2
5. Boot for inner constant velocity joint
^ With vent hole
^ Check for cracks and abrasion; replace if necessary
^ If damaged, check inner constant velocity joint
^ Sealing surfaces of boot to drive axle/cap must be free of grease during assembly
6. Drive axle
7. Boot for outer constant velocity joint
^ Without vent hole
^ Check for cracks and abrasion; replace if necessary
^ If damaged, check outer constant velocity joint
^ Sealing surfaces of boot to drive axle/joint must be free of grease during assembly
8. Clamp
^ Always replace
^ Tightening - Go to Fig. 2
9. Circlip
^ Always replace
^ Insert in shaft groove
10. Outer constant velocity joint
^ OD: 98 mm
^ Replace only as complete assembly
^ Installing: Knock onto shaft with plastic hammer until installed circlip springs out.
^ When threaded in circlip must lie in chamfer of joint; guide with pliers if necessary.





Fig. 1 Pressing off inner constant velocity joint
- Disengage circlip.
- Use mandrel to drive off boot.

Note: Cap -A- must not rest on pressure plate VW401. For this reason, use shells T10065/4 as spacers.





Fig. 2 Pressing on inner constant velocity joint
- Press on joint as far as it will go.
- Engage circlip.

Note: Position ball hub with inside diameter chamfer (splines) on drive axle.
